Good work, fella! :D
Dare we ask what stage 2 involves?

Andrew.
I was rather hoping you'd tell me - I'll be following your guide! :lol:
Looks like I need to remove a circlip of some sort.... :D

You've done the hard bit, it's plain sailing from here....
Perhaps the roll pin bit was difficult because you weren't wearing your lucky stripy socks! :lol:

Just glad to be done with this small saga so I can get stuck on step 2 instead of being stuck right at the start :lol:
You seem to take it all in your stride though Danny 8-)

Haha unfortunately for me those socks have basically had it - need to find some new lucky socks with less holes :lol:

Hi Andrew,

Two quick questions....

1. the washer you mentioned at the keyhole end of the barrel that could be replaced with a fibre washer - do you have a link where to get a fibre washer or replacement from at all? Mine are buggered!
2. When I finally get to the end do I have to have a cuppa or can I have something a bit stronger? (I think I've earned it!! :beer: ) :lol:

Cheers
Danny

Hi Danny,
It's good to hear that the project is nearing completion! Is the deterioration of the washer the cause of the lock issues? Mine was, as the in and out movement of the barrel allowed the spring to jam between the barrel and the housing.
1. I just used some washers I had lying around, but you could measure the size required and buy some from Ebay or any other DIY outlet.
This seller should have something that will fit:

2.Depends if it's a school night or not! :lol:

:goodluck:

Andrew.

I think it must have been the issue - hard to tell when there was so much grime and crud everywhere!

Thanks for the link, i'll measure what I have left later (it was cracked and missing a section, when I took it off it broke in two!) and see if they have a serviceable part :)

I think school night or not I've earned it :lol: :beer:

Thanks

Instead of trying to reconstruct the washer, it might be easier to measure the diameter of the barrel and buying a pair of washers with the same I.D. as that measurement. If the O.D is too big it should easily be trimmed to the correct size using a sharp craft knife.

There isn't anybody on here who wouldn't agree with that. As you wrote earlier, you never seem to get a break!

:goodluck:
Andrew.

Great idea Andrew, I'll measure the barrel instead :cool:

And I know! the sunroof started leaking yesterday so that's always good, but I did repair the rear wiper the day before so I shouldn't be surpised really; fix one thing and the next thing will break immediately afterwards :lol:
